Having problems with your Digital Cameras ?

I dropped my Flip Ultra Mino into a bucket of water for about 20 seconds, it was switched on at the time I have taken the back off and tried to dry it, If my flip works again will the videos I had stored on my flip be ok? Or will it not work at all?

Answers :

As to what you may or may not be able to retrieve you will have to hit that road when you get there at this point anything is possible. I would advise keeping the battery out of it for as long as you can. In this case of being dumped in that much water I would leave it for at lease 3-5 days with a fan blowing on it.Thank you,lee

I have the camcorder Sony DCR-TRV25E. Last Friday I was at the ocean and made home video on the beach. I was not close to water, but the breeze blew from the ocean and air was very moist. In the evening I tried to make video again, but the screen of the camcorder (camera on) remained black, though the player in the camcorder works well. My camcorder was in the dry home several days, but it is not working.

About seven days ago bought shelf display Fujifilm S1000. Worked fine at the store. Got home, read instructions, powered up, lens would not extend, "zoom error" displayed. Camera was room temp. When switched on, camera beeps, extend motor clicks, sounds like a gear engages for a split second. Took back to store next evening, it worked fine. Next try at home, same problem. Back to store, worked fine. Tried at home and at work, still "zoom error". Again to store, worked fine. Ready to return, stil

Hi ! I tried uploading some pictures to my pc but the computer says "no new pictures or videos were found on this device".Even when i accessed the device through "my computer" it was empty when in fact there are about 300 pics stored on my camera (canon powershot SD900) what should i do? The first time i used a USB cable and the second time i inserted the card into the computer but that dint work either . help !

My Cannon Powershot A1000 IS does not review pictures, zoom in, or register that I try to change the menu settings (or the flash, macro, ISO, or display setttings). My husband was taking video near the ocean and some of the water got onto the camera. There was only a little on the surface - just enough to warrant needing to be dried off with a towel. What can I do to get the camera working properly again?

I have a small white Flip-like video camera offered by Sharper Image. I believe it to be perhaps the first model of the 'U-video' line. This video camera was offered by the newer, taken over Sharper Image. I did not buy the little video camera at a Sharper Image store, but at a Stein Mart store. It cost me $40.
I'm looking for the manual for it. I want to know how to reset the date so that the date is correct when I video record something.
This is not the latest of the Sharper Image Flip-like

Please let me know if this is your camera. If it is I can get you the manual\015\012\015\012http://a.slickdeals.net/attachme ...

I lost some files from my Ultra HD Flip Cam during the copy process to my laptop.
I used a recovery software to retrieve the missing/deleted files off the Flip Cam without issue.
I cannot play the files though. They are unplayable--in a variety of video players, and conversion softwares.
They are named _ID000xx.mp4. I tried renaming them to .avi, and VID000xx.mp4. I tried importing them to the Flip Cam software too.
The files are there, they are just unplayable. Each video player

File recovery softwares will find a lot of files, most of those files will not be recoverable though, they will have been overwritten and contain random content mostly, you can\\t fix these files if they don\\t play in vlc media player after being re ...

So I looked into it and i was told that the camera was not going to work. So the next day I went and bought another MiniDV camcorder and tried viewing my video on that camera and it won't let me view any video on m

My sony DSC-H50 looks like crazy. I was taking some photos and videos, suddenly the camera was not able to make videos, it was only in standby mode.

JVC GZ MG77aa problem: When i turn my video camera on it works in picture mode but as soon as i turn it over to video mode a screen pops up sayin "communicating" [with a picture of arrors pointing to a video camera logo and then to the battery logo,] i have checked the battery at a JVC store and it has been checked and everything is fine with that, its just weird it works in picture mode and not video mode anymore it just keeps showing that "commutating' logo and restarting and does the same thi

This sounds like the software that initiates the video is amiss, and the camera can't initialize the video function. If so, the main board has to be replaced to fix it.\015\012However, just to check, make sure the battery contacts inside the ...

Hi, my fuji fine pix camera has absolutely no power, i need it tommorow night for a big family event and it wont work. When i try and use charge it also there are no lights etc indicating a charge. A few month back i got my bag wet and the camera was in there. The camera worked after that when it was dried out. Now it does not, is there anything i can try at home to get it to work ??? :/ thankyou.

If the camera got wet the way you described, it can run for days, weeks, and months, but even with your best efforts to dry it out, moisture still got in there and caused it to fail. I have worked on countless pieces over the years that ...

Overexposure My Nikon D40x is WAY overexposing in AV or S mode. Does it need repairing? (a long trip to get fixed).

My kodak zi8 is frozen. I was viewing a short video and it froze when the video ended and none of the buttons work, including the power button. I tryed holding the power button for a minute but it didn't shut off. and i tried plugging it in to my computer to upload the vids but nothing happened when I plugged it in. How do I fix it?

My camera (flip mino hd) says when i try and record it says that my camcorder is full but when i try and go see the videos so i could delete some it says that my camcorder is empty and then when i plug it into my computer, it says that my flip is full but nothing shows up in the folder.

My Aiptek IS-DV2.4 (DZO-V50) Video camera works intermittently, but mostly I get a white screen or a flipping image. I've reinserted the batteries, memory card to no avail. Also I can't get the video light to go on either. I dropped it once, but it worked for quite a while afterward.

Canon IXUS 85. Last time i used my camea was last night, it worked fine when i went to show a friend a video i had taken and it worked fine, i don't remember knocking it, but i went to turn it on this morning and the screen was blank, i fully charged my lithium battery and tried again, and took the memory card out, put the picture on my laptop and put the card back in at the same time as the battery. I tried to then turn the camera on and it went on showing the sceen for a second before going of

When i try to download my images the camera just turns off. It works in all three settings, (photo, video, review) as long as the usb is not connected, and it works in photo and video with the usb connected, but as soon as i switch to view with the usb plugged in it powers down. This just started out of the blue.
